Two men escaped injury when a light aircraft made an emergency landing

:00:08.:00:10.

The microlight came down shortly after it took off

:00:11.:00:15.

The pilot and his passenger were able to walk away

:00:16.:00:20.

It was a pleasure flight which came to an abrupt end,

:00:21.:00:40.

a split-second decision trailers this landing site in the field of

:00:41.:00:44.

Bali. It had just taken off from the airfield over there at noon today

:00:45.:00:46.

when there was some kind of malfunction. The aircraft could not

:00:47.:00:52.

gain height and the pilot decided to put it down in this field and came

:00:53.:00:55.

to a sudden stop just here. Emergency services attended the

:00:56.:00:57.

scene but the experienced pilot and passenger were not injured. They did

:00:58.:01:03.

not want to speak on camera. The landing damage the front wheel.

:01:04.:01:10.

Other members say bringing aircraft down safely when something goes

:01:11.:01:14.

wrong is all part of the training. The first thing you do is to make

:01:15.:01:17.

the aircraft flight because of the engine stops and you do nothing

:01:18.:01:23.

about it, you end up going straight down to the ground, where is the

:01:24.:01:25.

trick is to keep the aircraft flying. It turns into a glider. You

:01:26.:01:33.

look straight ahead and look with ten or 15 degrees of your vision and

:01:34.:01:37.

look at somewhere you can put the aircraft down safely. Last month, a

:01:38.:01:42.

plane went down on the North Antrim coast. The two men on board were not

:01:43.:01:55.

found at presumed dead. Today's landing happened only a short

:01:56.:01:57.

distance from the effort. The pilot said there is no one he would rather

:01:58.:02:00.

be with in the sky when things not go as planned.

:02:01.:02:01.

Public hearings into historical child abuse have come to an end.

:02:02.:02:04.

Hundreds of former residents, who were in the care of churches,

:02:05.:02:06.

the state and the Barnardos charity, have given evidence over the last

:02:07.:02:09.

two and a half years - many recalling harrowing accounts

:02:10.:02:12.

Our reporter, Kevin Sharkey, has covered much of

:02:13.:02:15.

These people, hundreds of them, young children, were put into care

:02:16.:02:29.

and they were abused. Now they are men and women, middle

:02:30.:02:40.

aged and elderly. Over the last two and a half years, they had been

:02:41.:02:44.

going through the gates of this courthouse to tell their stories of

:02:45.:02:47.

abuse. The stories they have been recalling here have been shining a

:02:48.:02:50.

light on a past of society here in Northern Ireland and has reviewed a

:02:51.:02:52.

very distressing, dark and disturbing story of the history of

:02:53.:02:55.

society here in Northern Ireland. The

:02:56.:03:11.

chairman will go on with his inquiry panel and legal team to compile the

:03:12.:03:14.

report. He would take six months to do that and will then handed over to

:03:15.:03:17.

the executive at Stormont but then another phase of this work begin

:03:18.:03:19.

because the executives must then begin to decide, what they do by way

:03:20.:03:24.

of recompense, by way of an apology? One of the cornerstones of what they

:03:25.:03:27.

must address is the issue of compensation and that will be very

:03:28.:03:28.

difficult issue address. The Housing Executive has been asked

:03:29.:03:30.

to investigate the dumping of a large quantity of tyres

:03:31.:03:32.

at a bonfire site in east Belfast. A large truck was seen delivering

:03:33.:03:35.

the tyres to the Ballybeen estate Lisburn and Castlereagh Council

:03:36.:03:38.

said it has contacted the Housing Executive,

:03:39.:03:41.

which owns the land, and the Northern Ireland Environment

:03:42.:03:45.

Agency about the matter. The burning of tyres

:03:46.:03:47.

releases toxic fumes. The Secretary of State

:03:48.:03:52.

says she sees no reason for an All-Ireland Forum to discuss

:03:53.:03:54.

the implications of Brexit. She also said the Chancellor's

:03:55.:03:58.

decision to reduce the rate of corporation tax across the UK can

:03:59.:04:01.

work to the advantage Ms Villiers has been talking

:04:02.:04:04.

to our political A fortnight on the referendum, the

:04:05.:04:23.

reason Villiers is convinced the Brexit was the right thing to do,

:04:24.:04:27.

but what of the fallout? On the question of an all Ireland Forum,

:04:28.:04:31.

she backed the line taken by the DUP. I think the current North-

:04:32.:04:39.

South bodies are working very well, so I have not seen a case for a

:04:40.:04:51.

fresh body to be added to the current structures. She also denies

:04:52.:04:53.

claims that Brexit was the main reason behind the postponement of US

:04:54.:04:55.

investment trip later this year. I had the opportunity to speak to

:04:56.:04:58.

Senator Gary Hart yesterday about this and he assured me there were

:04:59.:05:02.

various reasons behind this, the main one of which is the reason of

:05:03.:05:09.

the delegation has rejoined the private sector. But I am sure it

:05:10.:05:14.

will get back into the diary soon because Northern Ireland will always

:05:15.:05:18.

be a great place for US investors to come

:05:19.:05:29.

to, including those who want to export the rest of Europe. There is

:05:30.:05:32.

concern at Stormont about the Chancellor's intention to cut the

:05:33.:05:35.

rate of corporation tax but the reason Villiers said there should

:05:36.:05:37.

not be. There is an advantage in the idea put forward in reducing the

:05:38.:05:40.

main UK rate because it makes 12.5% for Northern Ireland more affordable

:05:41.:05:48.

for the executive to deliver. With a new Prime Minister due in September,

The Swans and cygnets have been coming up to the farm for the last

three or four weeks. Lovely sight to see. It is not the usual site,

letting them come up onto the farm, but I have done. The other evening,

:07:00.:07:06.

when I was coming home, they were walking down the road in a straight

:07:07.:07:17.

line. I thought how gorgeous they were. Pat stopped to take pictures

:07:18.:07:20.

of them but a short time later, they were struck by a car which failed to

:07:21.:07:23.

stop. I could not believe it. They were just dead where they were

standing. Horrible. Heartless, really heartless. It is happened on

with Geoff Maskell. A rather significant change in our

weather is about to arrive. Everything dominated by this area of

low pressure which formed the outline to join the week which is

heading towards us this weekend and which is driving the weather. The

night, the fast front for bring rain across Northern Ireland on what is a

:08:49.:08:50.

mild muggy night. Temperatures staying in the low to middle teens

:08:51.:09:03.

overnight. As we head into Saturday, it will stay cloudy in humid. Quite

:09:04.:09:06.

a lot of rain around at times. The worst of that across the South and

:09:07.:09:08.

east although we could see rain spreading further north. You can see

:09:09.:09:15.

the breeze coming around and those fronts dragged across, bringing wet

:09:16.:09:18.

weather across the central belt of England and Wales, dry across the

:09:19.:09:20.

south-east corner. As we go through the afternoon, that rain should

:09:21.:09:24.

fragment a bit. Quite muggy as we draw and that air from the

south-west. By the time we get to Sunday, the centre of the low is

:09:29.:09:41.

much closer to its. Not so much to move those showers on. They could be

:09:42.:09:43.

slow-moving, bunching together and becoming persistent for a time. By

:09:44.:09:47.

the time we get to Monday, the centre is pulling away, the showers

:09:48.:09:50.

will fizzle out and we will draw in cooler air. The breeze coming round
